克罗夫顿学校 was founded in 1898 by Dr Jessie Gordon. As one of the first women to attend Cambridge University, Dr Gordon placed great value on education for women and had a bold vision of creating an all-girls' school where young women would build a solid foundation to meet life's challenges.
除了强调学术, Jessie established the tradition of a well-rounded education for girls, 做体育运动, 体育课, 戏剧和音乐是课程的一部分. This whole-girl approach continues to be a cornerstone of Crofton House education.
